My mate actually had something similar in his 260Z.... was a LCD set up controlled in cabin... could change the plates to any combination you wanted in a second..... hence to say he had the setup imported, got away with it for quite a few years then got caught and slapped with over 8 grand in fines etc...loss of license for 3 years.... Stupid thing was after he went to court etc .... the police handed them back to him :P

Lol i was reading some replies to the video that said exactly that. Huge fines if caught also the bull run stickers on a gallardo you don't really need plates to be recognised

there is also a product in the states which covers the plates with a highly reflective chemical which bounces the flash from camera and doesn't show the plates in the photo. The chemical itself is invisible to humans. Apparently things like hair spray can have same effect, but not quite as good.

Lol... yeah the whole sticker thing kinda defeats the purpose!

lol.... I remember putting hairspray over our plates years ago when we were 17/18.... never knew if it worked or not though :P

you do realise, all they have to do is increase the contrast on the photos and they'd own your ass

Hair spray and all that crap doesnt work, not sure about what the OP's vid is using.

Mythbusters did a special on speed cameras in S5 S4 - Speed Cameras.

The only way the could avoid a ticket was..

Even the lambo didnt beat the camera lol

actually there is a stuff that wokrs, have been using it for years on my bikes and cars, it's a specailty thing from the US. It is only found in FEW Specialty stores. It has 3d prisim glass particles in it, you can feel the in the paint. When you spray it on, these seam to line up somehow while the paint dries and is fine, looks ok when dry, possibly a bit dull and not as reflective.

BUT when a flash hits the paint, it goes bazerk, you simply can not read the plate. I have not had a fine ever. I wish i had a pic of teh bike with the phot of teh plates.

UNFORTUNATLY, the bike is recently sold, and the car has new plates, so i need some more.

it's that translucent electric glass stuff

not bad..

yeah, it's like the rear view mirror in my soarer which is some kind of LCD. at the touch of a button it goes dark electrically. same kind of effect actually.

Another idea is to use the material in welding helmets that goes dark when a flash hits it. I tried this myself by placing a newspaper behind the window and then taking a flash picture. The material reacts fast enough that you cannot read what's behind the glass. Downsides are:

* I haven't seen these panels large enough to cover a plate

* Only works if the camera flashes (i.e. night)

There is a guy in the u.s. that has a site and makes them but he is slow at producing apparently accrding to his site. On the upside he makes them for australian plates too. obviously for those who want something cool at autosalon right guys? right? cough*

The only place i can see myself using this is on my commonwhore not paying for the lane cove tunnell. Theres my political statement

    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
